Rich and Mike play Super VHS: The RLM Video Game!

Seemingly out of nowhere comes a strange video game that takes place in the RLM studio. Normally we don't give attention to weirdos that take this much effort making something so utterly creepy, but this game is just so impressive, Rich and Mike had to play it and see what all the fuss was about.
The game is a free download. And before you ask, no we didn't pay anyone to make this for us. Nor were we paid to promote it.

@@thegortrix Real Engine 5 from Epic Lives studios. Unfortunately Real Life is leagues behind Unreal Engine 5's Lumen and Nanite. The LOD on the Rich character mesh was awful and had, like, three polygons at a draw distance of a meter. We need to see those grizzly 8k face textures with dynamic lighting.

[@frankfinley1642]

So, I saw this and downloaded the game to check it out. Turns out you can use the Space Cop Gun to shoot the lock off of a door and go outside. The only interactable object you can find outside (which is portrayed as a snowy, creepy wasteland, much like Milwaukee IRL) is Plinkett's Night Court tape. You can take that tape to the Plinkett House set and interact with the TV to get a Thank You message from the Dev. Suddenly turned this whole thing from kind of weird to pretty wholesome!

This is true love and joy. Thank you to whoever made this game. So Mike and Rich could play it. So we could watch. So we could be happy. So we could die another day.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

I swear I've watched this video like 5 times now. Their smiles and optimism... Returned.

[@SonicHaXD]

This is genuinely an impressive fan project XD

[@Angelfoxxie]

The look of sheer delight you guys have while playing this game is infectious and wonderful.

[@Asura706]

Hearing another of Mike's Hard laugh at 14:55. Made my day. It's a blessing to everyone who witnesses it.

[@Sarged40]

The gun’s description about shooting locks was a hint for the ending. Shoot the lock off the door next to the garage door and find your prize.

[@DeathwishDice]

!!!!

[@horusreloaded6387]

As someone who was stuck at 48 tapes, what is the ending?

[@RageMojo]

@@horusreloaded6387 The hardest tape was the one on the floor between rooms laying against the pillar to the left of the space cop gun.

[@horusreloaded6387]

@@RageMojo so I assume you found all. What is the ending?

[@HoopleBogart]

@@horusreloaded6387 Good luck, i've tried 3 times to get 50 tapes. shit ain't happening.

[@dingusdangus9299]

This reminds me of when my dad would buy me a random video game then sit next to me as I played it checking my reaction to everything, making sure I was enjoying it.

[@weegee_hates_the_blind]

I genuinely thought this was gonna be a horror game where mike would chase you around and force you to watch black spine tapes…

[@reechee3]

This was one of the greatest things I've seen on KZbin in a long time. Obvious that a ton of work went into the game and to see the guys having such a good time warms my cold dead heart.

[@rosera99]

Mike is talking to Rich like he's a dad watching Rich open Christmas presents

[@hotcoldman]

Imagine how trippy it would've been if the game included the BOTW viewing room and Mike and Rich went to the same couch they were filming on

[@seid3366]

maybe for an update, that could happen, and you could choose who else to watch a tape with

[@MrCecil]

DLC! This game is better than half the shovelware they sell on Switch.

[@eldenringer6466]

and did you know its also a vr game which if your version was real would explain why it was publiahed by META lol

[@TheKoboldHoard]

i would pay AAA prices for the complete version for sure. I want to be able to sit in their chairs and pretend I'm one of the group...if you're reading this, so do you.

[@Shinkajo]

@@MrCecil let's not get carried away here

[@spaceman466]

I played this game and it's a really heart warming fan project that showes real care for the history of the channel.

[@BenM1983]

Bless these guys, they're so genuinely delighted by this evidence of how much their work means to people.

[@Jokoko2828]

The tapes in this are basically the top of the schlock pile and I have this weird nostalgic feeling for every single one of them.

[@axolotllan]

1) Laser guns are never accurate 2) the joy rich has in firing making a mess and not having to follow up behind it with a broom and dustpan.

[@Mayouri]

This has to be the most wholesome RLM video … I loved every second of this

[@johnpinneriv9958]

The Nukie tape featured prominently in this video and game is a piece of lost history.

[@beastghostt]

This game is proof that I am just one of many people with every episode of Best of the Worst running on a continuous loop in my brain and on my screen, what a relief.

[@megaslush9629]

You are not alone

[@ojmj1984]

There's actually many of us.

[@Naomi.Robertson]

We came for the Mr. Plinkett reviews and stayed for Best of the Worst

[@Gothic_Monkey]

i swear it's the most common thing i put on when i go to bed

[@kittytreats6536]

As a pathetic nobody piece of shit game designer myself, I can say with total confidence that the creator of this game could not have possibly expected a better reception. To have your fan game almost immediately validated by the very people you were inspired by is insane. That close up of Rich's face as he realized what he was about to play probably made the game designer cry tears of joy.

[@GruppeSechs]

Watching Mike giggle like a six year old at basic physics collisions so perfectly highlights how unfamiliar with video games he is.

[@Sauce787]

Finally we get to see uncle Rich and Grandpa Mike become the gamers we always knew them to be.

[@jaketheberge1970]

You gotta love the look of joy when Rich begins destroying all the sources of his pain, misery, and trauma.

[@bearlyhardley]

This was so great, I love when KZbinrs get their own games, but this really took a special amount of effort. Whoever put this together should be very proud of themselves for making these old men happy

[@eldenringer6466]

....and there are sooo old! lol :-D (Also Rich is the oldest but his child like exuberance is only now matched by Mikes joy and wonder).

[@here_be_dragons9184]

With middleware like Unreal or Unity making that kind of game got a lot easier but yeah a lot of time went into making the content like modelling, getting in all the VHS covers and so on... The attention to details is marvellous and it's all done in good taste.

[@DonnaCPunk]

Some of the AVGN fan made games are pretty clever.

[@gamepoy5056]

Rich and Mike are trending on KZbin Gaming. That's a true statement.

[@LootandScoot]

Mike totally reminding me of my grandpa watching me play banjo Kazooie when I was a little kid he had no idea what was going on but he was happy to be there

[@BumboLooks]

Happy to see you happy but probably wishing you were more directly social with him.
